Why Small Businesses Matter in Wilton: Grumpy Dumpling

asset

Local Business Champion: Grumpy Dumpling Co.

Meet Jocelyn Pollak, co-founder of Grumpy Dumpling Co.

Why did you start your business?

My husband (Chalermrat Pongngarmsanga) is from Thailand and has a passion for food and cooking. I lived there for ten years and when we moved to the area, we decided give his culinary talents a try! So far, so good! People love his dumplings; the business has grown greatly since we started in late 2022.

What is your best-selling product/service?

It's hard to say! Our pork dumplings are the most traditional so those sell the most by just a little bit. Chicken is second. And, the veggie is third, but it's a lot of people's “surprise favorite”. We also book lots of seats in our classes that run from November until May. Learn more about the classes https://www.grumpydumplingco.com/classes/

How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?

A lot, especially when we host classes. We have great venues that welcome us to teach classes including Cannon Grange, Designs by Lee, Cross Culture Kombucha, 314 Beer Garden, Spacecat Brewery, Valor Wines, District Co-working, Wallingford Marketplace, Eco Evolution. We also regularly buy vegetables from farms at the farmers’ markets.
